Active head restraint
When the occupant’s back
presses against the seatback
during a rear-end collision, the
head restraint moves slightly for-
ward to help reduce the risk of
whiplash on the seat occupant.
Active head restraint
Even small forces applied to the seatback may cause the head restraint to
move. This does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
Seat adjustment
Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage.
Do not recline the seat more than necessary when the vehicle is in motion
to reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt. 
If the seat is too reclined, during an accident the lap belt may slide past the
hips and apply restraint forces directly to the abdomen or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury.
Manual seat: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in
position.

Returning the seatbacks (sedan)
CAUTION
When returning the seatbacks to the upright position
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
Tilt the seatback up until it locks, making
sure that you hold the seat belt to prevent
it from getting caught between the seat-
back and the inner side of the vehicle.
Make sure the shoulder belt passes
through the guide and that the seat belt
is in position before folding down the
seat when returning the seatback up.
Make sure that the seatback is securely
locked in position by lightly pushing it
back and forth.
If the seatback is not securely locked,
the red marking will be visible on the
seatback lock release lever. Make sure
that the red marking is not visible.
